AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vase 'Vatel' in transparent/mauve crystal Val Saint Lambert (unsigned, common at the time) – René Delvenne (around 1958, Expo 58) – Excellent condition
Description :
Magnificent 'Vatel' model vase in thick mauve and transparent crystal, created by René Delvenne for the Val Saint Lambert glassworks.
An emblematic piece from the 1955-1960 period, often associated with the Brussels 1958 Universal Exhibition (several models from this series were presented there).
Features :
- Height: 16 cm
Maximum diameter: 17.5 cm.
Depth: 15 cm
Weight: 2.1 kg (very massive crystal, impressive thickness)
Freeform twisted dynamic shape, fanned edge, heavy base
Deep and luminous transparent mauve color, typical of Delvenne's creations from that era.
Condition: Excellent
No shine, no chipping, no scratches.
Exceptional brilliance and transparency, its very pure, crystalline clarity.
The 'Vatel' vases signed by René Delvenne in color are among the most sought-after pieces of post-war Belgian crystal. Their likely presence at Expo 58 and their very limited production make them true icons of Belgian modernist design.
A rare opportunity to own a major work by René Delvenne in its original condition.
